Winter 2017 Event

Introduction

The Winter 2017 Event Reconnaissance Force Emergency Deployment! Operation "Hikari" began on February 11, 2017 and ended on February 28th, 2017.

The theme of this event is based upon the Ogasawara Islands and "Operation Hikari", the IJN's planned reconnaissance of and raid on the USN base at Ulithi Atoll.

The event is a small-scale event, featuring only 3 maps.

While the event is centered around "Operation Hikari", specifically operations taking place in Nanao Bay, the Ogasawara Islands, and at the Ulithi atoll, the follow up operation of "Operation Arashi" is not part of this operation.

Historical Background

Disclaimer: The following information is based upon a summary of World War II history and may not have any influence with the game itself. This is for historical reference only.

Operation Hikari was a transport operation by the submarines I-13 and I-14. Their mission was to transport disassembled Saiuns to an ad hoc air base on Truk Atoll, where they would be used to scout the USN positions within Ulithi Atoll.

Operation Arashi was intended to be a follow-up air raid, where two squadrons of 6 Seiran seaplane bombers operating from the submarines I-400 and I-401 would bomb the USN positions within Ulithi Atoll.

Information

New Ships

1. Matsukaze - Reward for E-2 clear. A Kamikaze-Class Destroyer that served alongside Asakaze and sank in a transport operations off of Chichijima, Ogasawara Islands after being attacked by a Submarine.
2. I-14 - Reward for E-3 clear. A submarine capable of carrying seaplanes that successfully took part in Operation Hikari.
3. I-13 - E-3 drop. Comptiq Magazine revealed that the Twin Sister of the sub that partook in Operation Hikari would also be avalaible in this event.
4. Fujinami - E-2 drop. A new Yuugumo-class Destroyer.

New Equipment

• Saiun (Disassembled for Transport)
• Submarine Radar and Waterproof Periscope
• Submarine Radar and Radio Direction Finder (E27)
• Saiun (East Caroline Air Group)

Also, while not new equipment, this is the first time Zuiun (631st Air Group) is available outside of rank rewards.

New Enemy Vessels

• Abyssal Twin Princesses

New Enemy Equipment

• Abyssal Submarine Floatplane

Event Requirements

A minimum of two Saiun are required for E-3 on Normal and Hard difficulties. This only applies to players intending to tackle this part of the event on Normal or Hard difficulty. This was originally revealed over a week ahead of time through the official Twitter account. Players on Easy difficulty only need Type 97 Torpedo Bombers for this segment of the event.. In both cases, the planes are used to make Saiun (Disassembled for Transport) for delivery during the transport step.

This latter segment of the event was initially not available, being enabled from 12th February 2017, 2300 JST onward.

Mechanics

Participation requirements

• Must have a 75% sortie win ratio.
• Must have 5 empty ship slots for new ships.
• Must have 20 free equipment slots.

Special Mechanics

1. The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (甲, Hard), Operation B (乙, Medium) or Operation C (丙, Easy).
   • Choosing A or B requires certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
   • An important note to all Admirals intending to clear the event on Hard difficulty - further (new) conditions now apply:
     • When switching difficulty from any other difficulty to Hard, the map's debuff mechanism (where applicable) will be reset.
       • Switching between any other difficulties will not reset the debuff mechanism.
2. The debuff system of Summer 2015 Event's final map, where certain nodes had to be killed to reduce boss armor, returns. The mechanic is featured in the final map, but is believed to lower the armor of the boss escorts instead of the boss. (for more details, consult E-3)
3. Additinoally, there is a quest-based debuff that targets the E-3 boss armor. (as above, see E-3)
4. Operation A (甲, Hard) and Operation B (乙, Medium) will require you to have a minimum of two fleets ready due to fleet locking (see above for details)

Tips Important Note: Upon completing the TP gauge, you will need to complete the map one more time to ensure a victory to complete the map Recommended Compositions: No (F)BBs are allowed on this map. 4-6SS(V) Using all submarines can make the map relatively easy and will reduce the gauge very quickly. On lower difficulties, 4SS can make it through the map relatively unharmed. LBAS strikes should be focused on node B. There are no LoS checks for this map. For people who lack the subs needed 0-1CAV 1-2CL, 3-4 DD 0-2 SS(V) Good for map clearing up till the final run Final Run Composition: 1CA(V), 1CVL, CL, 3DD Since you're facing additional battles in Wo-class Nodes, additional air defence is required. Post Clear Run Composition: 1CA(V), 2CL, 3DD Can be used for post-clear run and evades Node D. TP Guage on this map is depleted based upon the type of ships you bring (submarines seems to have the most impact) and Using Zuiun Seaplane bombers and Seiran (which also aid in depleting the TP Gauge). Once you reach Node I, you're safe to advance as you'll be able to complete the map regardless of how damaged you are. On the final run, the map will change it's pathing and you'll experience more battles where you'll face more carrier battles and Air attacks unless you follow the requirements to prevent being sent to Node D. Recommended LBAS Attack locations: Node B and Node I Use All Torpedo Bombers or Land Based Attack Aircrafts If using an all-Submarine team, it may be advisable to deploy your LBAS to Node B. If you're aiming to farm Node I you may want to eliminate the surface ships so your fleet has a better chance for S-rank.

Tips Since this map is a Transport Operation, it's recommended to bring ships that can carry drum canisters, Daihatsu, and even Kinu Kai Ni if you wish to deplete the gauge faster. Recommended Compositions Transport Escort Combined Fleet 4DD 2CAV + 1CL, 3DD, 2CA + Depletes TP Gauge Faster - Will require you to go through tough nodes to reach the boss node - Route change at final stretch makes completing map even more harder for this fleet. - May Require Boss Support to ensure A Rank. Fleet takes route ADEHKM up until the Boss Gauge reaches until Transport Gauge reaches 25% of TP points remaining. Upon the Transport Gauge reaching 25% left, the routing path will change to ADEHJHKM (Yes, you get sent to H twice) You can choose to change your path by going to G to avoid this problem and go via route ADGJHKM. It's strongly recommended to only use this up until the gauge is at 25% then switch to Carrier Task Force. Consider having LBAS Target Nodes H and M to ensure the safety of your fleet. Transport Escort Combined Fleet using Historic Fleet Setup 1-4 Mutsuki Class (consisting of Satsuki, Nagatsuki, Fumizuki and Minazuki) DD, 1-2 Kamikaze-Class DD, 0-2, 2CAV (Or BBV if equipped to Turbine/Engine combo to fast) + 1CL, 3DD, 2CA (Depends on Difficulty read below) + Depletes TP Gauge Faster + Goes Easiest Possible Routing - Will still face some challenges along the way (though far less painful) - May Require Boss Support to ensure A Rank. Historic Fleet Setup will allow you to above the more intense nodes in the map allowing for your fleet to improve thier chances of survival by going CFIJKM Upon the Transport Gauge reaching 25% left, the routing path will change to CFIJHKM. Depending on the Difficulty, the number of historic ships required will need to be specifce based upon a point system. Kamikaze-Class DDs count for 2 points while Mutsuki-Class Destroyer Division 22 members count for 1 point. 3 Points are needed for Easy, 4 Points are needed for Normal, 5 Points is needed for Hard. Node I consist of a torpedo squadron fleet, LBAS is recommended to minimize damage from that node. You can bring BBV in place of the CAVs in the main fleet if you improve thier ship speed using a turbine and Boiler combo. While this will allow for you to bring a tougher fleet, it may also handicap your BBVs unless you have an Reinforcement Expansion to allow them to be able to perform double attacks. It also will make you perform two shelling rounds in the main fleet which may be counter productive in certain nodes. LBAS is also Recommended for Boss Node. Boss Support Fleets are recommended as they'll help aid in making sure you'll gain more A rank wins in the fight. Carrier Task Force Composition 3-4 CV, 0-1 CVL, 0-2 DD, 0-2 CA + 1CL, 2-3DD, 2-3 CA + Stronger Fleet capable of going through most fights with less issues, and can make easy work of the boss node. + Makes battles with tougher nodes easier + Recommended to use when TP Gauge is below 25% + Preferred for farming the map - Will have to face lots of Carrier Battles - Will deplete TP Gauge far less It's recommended to not bring BBs of any form into this composition as they will throw you in into back up to the north resulting in your fuel and ammo being depleted by the time your reach the boss node. You can use LBAS to concentrate thier attack on the boss node. LBAS Recommendations 2-3 Torpedo Bombers/ Land Based Attackers + 1-2 Fighters A Distance of 6 is required to reach the boss node. Depending on the Combined Fleet you use you use, you may wish to need to change up the number of fighters and Torpedo bombers/ Land Based Attackers needed to minimize the loss of your plane's rank in battle. It's commonly recommended to use 3 Torpedo Bombers/ Land Based Attackers and 1 Fighter if you use the Historic Transport Fleet Set up. It's also recommended to use 2 Torpedo Bombers/ Land Based Attackers and 2 Fighter for all other set ups. The boss fleet will only change to its Last Dance pattern when you reach the boss node with a fleet that would completely deplete what remains of the Transport Bar with an S-Rank.

Tips The following map will consist of two phases consisting of a Transport Phase and a Boss Kill Phase. In addition, the difficulty you play on this map will greatly effect certain factors regarding what you'll need to do for the event map. Transport Phase The Transport Phase of the Operation will consist of transporting new pieces of equipment (Saiun(Disassembled for Transport)) to the transport drop off point (Node E and then beating the boss in Node I. The requirements needed to make Disassembled Saiun will vary depending on the difficulty you choose as quest you'll need to do will vary. Please refer to the Quest area for additional information Before taking Disassembled Saiun it's recommended that you attempt to test the map to make sure you will be able to safely transport Disassembled Saiun without issue. If you fail to reach the boss node, your flagship gets heavily damaged, or you take a get off routed after you reach node E, you will loose all your Disassembled Saiun and will need to redo the Disassembled Saiun quests again to attempt to complete the TP portion.
